USA Unvented cylinder - water pressure

[Riley]

And where the pipe work comes out

 

[Riley]

Was that really fitted by a plumber??

 

[ShaunCorbs]

When you think things cant get any worse! So the direction of lettering is a give away?

Also the hot outlet on the side

 

[Riley]

Typing race Shaun??

As it was a modular loft the loft company placed it in eaves when room was in two parts. Plumber came in and connected to boiler.

 

[Tim0212]

Also the hot outlet on the side

Explain further?

Seen it all now get em back thats not fitted correctly or report em to gas safe they will force them to put it right or give you your money back so you can employ another engineer to sort it, do you have a compliance certificate ? Kop

 

[Riley]

They clearly weren’t G3 qualified then as it’s a right hash and hadn’t speced the right pipework changes or a horizontal cylinder

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Explain further?

Horizontal cylinders have all the connections on the top so they can be serviced easily and have internal dip tubes so they don't suck cold water

 

[Riley]

The guys clearly not a plumber not to have spotted it

 

[Tim0212]

No i have nothing from them. Apart from vertical cylinder can you explain other issues? I would be surprised if loft company would have used them if not gas safe as all part of contract for sign off and commissioning. Could they get away with it by saying they didnt specify cylinder (the loft company did?)

They installed it in that manner the buck falls with them

 

[Riley]

Somantics it’s a vertical cylinder fitted horizontally. IF he’s qualified he should know

Would this be the reason why pressure low. Sorry, no idea about plumbing! Sucking cold water - what does this mean?

 

[Riley]

Based on the pics I’d say not qualified
